Welcome to My Race for Hope Fundraising Page

I have been participating as a volunteer at the annual Race for Hope in Washington, DC for several years now. It began as a show of support for David Cook, a talented singer-songwriter, who lost his brother to this deadly disease right after winning the title of American Idol in 2008.

Last summer, in an terrible twist of fate, my young nephew, James, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. James, a young dad with a wife and two young children, teaches martial arts. Originally he and his family were told that the tumor was inoperable...and that it resided in an area where any attempted surgery would affect his motor coordination...a devasting blow to his livelihood, and his life. Less than a week later they were blessed to find a surgeon who had a more promising outlook and he underwent surgery. James is currently now cancer free and back to work. We need to support the necessary research to find ways for better treatment and to the eventual eradication of brain cancer itself.

I am uniting with others to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors. I am passionate about this cause, so I’m taking action and need your help. National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure are making strides for a cure - but more needs to be done. Please join in my effort!
